Aleksandre Gogaladze, PhD is a marine conservation scientist and science educator who has worked with Naturalis Biodiversity Center, EMSEA, and WWF.He created MiniMariners after seeing a simple truth in nature conservation: lasting care for the ocean is shaped early, yet many parents and schools lack calm, engaging, screen-free tools to nurture that connection.Working in the North Sea region, Aleksandre chose it as the natural starting point — a living coastline of tides, seals, crabs, and seaweed that children can recognize as part of their everyday world.MiniMariners is built to support parents and educators — not overwhelm them.
